2023-2024 Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten Welcome Event
Thank you to our families who attended last night’s Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten Welcome Event at Sayre Elementary School. We enjoyed meeting so many families and we hope your child left the event excited about starting school next year!
Here are a few helpful reminders for all families:
The Intent to Enroll form you completed yesterday evening simply provides the district with basic contact information. Each family must still submit a student enrollment packet. When you have gathered all of the necessary documents, please begin the student enrollment packet online. The entire submission process can be done from home. The packet is easiest to complete on a laptop or other computer. We ask that you complete the enrollment packet by the beginning of April. Families that submit a completed enrollment packet will be on the email list to receive information about August orientation events. The online enrollment packet can be reached by visiting the district’s website at: https://tinyurl.com/JKKEnrollment
The website also contains informational videos about our Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten programs.
If you need assistance, you may contact our school office or the district’s Pupil Services Department.
A few reminders specific to families who wish to enroll their child in Junior Kindergarten:
If your child qualifies for Junior Kindergarten for 2023-24 and you are hoping to secure a spot, enrollment packets must be completed and submitted by Friday, February 17th at 4:00 PM.
If you are hoping to enroll your student in Junior Kindergarten, please watch the Junior Kindergarten information video on our website about the program. If you still have questions remaining, an information meeting will be held at Sayre Elementary School (23000 Valerie St, South Lyon) on the evening of Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 6:00 PM. This optional event is for adults only, not children and students, and is designed to answer any remaining questions families may have prior to the February 17th deadline for JK enrollment.
Again, thank you for joining us yesterday evening and we are looking forward to welcoming your child in the fall!

SAYRE COMMUNICATION:
The Sayre Elementary Principal is Mrs. Susan Maurus - mauruss@slcs.us - during the school year, whenever possible, her office sends a weekly email of information which often includes a video.
Please add these four SEPERATE contacts to your phone/email list of contacts:
1, Sayre Elementary Office, Phone: 1-248-573-8500, Email #1: sayre@slcs.us,
2. SLCS - Email: donotreply@slcs.us
3. Sayre Attendance - please call 248-573-8475 - to report your student(s) absence/late arrival/early departure. Please include your student’s first and last name with the spelling of the last name along with the reason for absence from school. The office is busy in the morning so please call this number to leave a recorded message with any attendance related information - absences, late arrival, early dismissal - prior to 9:30AM.
If you are emailing your student's teacher in advance about any planned absence (appointments, vacation, days off, holiday) then please also copy the Sayre Office at sayre@slcs.us. For student safety and Michigan Department of Education state regulations attendance for each student is reconciled each day by the office staff. Including the office in your email communications regarding attendance helps your student’s teacher from having to forward your communication to the office for the attendance record.
